Kuala Lumpur – Shell Malaysia today opened the annual application process for its Shell Malaysia Scholarship Programme, which provides a unique entrance into the energy industry for students pursuing higher education opportunities. The application to join the 2021 Class of Shell Scholars closes on Wednesday, 30th June 2021 at 11:59pm.
Shell’s Scholarship Programme provides successful applicants with the opportunity to pursue undergraduate studies in global top tier universities while participating in mentoring and internship programmes. Upon graduation, scholars will have the chance to embark on a fulfilling career in various engineering, geosciences and commercial disciplines across Shell’s business operations.
“We hope that the 2021 Shell Scholarship Programme will inspire Malaysians to pursue their ambitions and help make a meaningful impact to our country and society, “says Ivan Tan, Chairman of Shell Malaysia and former Shell Scholar himself. “I was fortunate to receive the Shell scholarship back in 1997 to further my studies in the United Kingdom, followed by an offer to join a professional community that is passionate about making a difference in building a sustainable energy future”.
Applicants for the Shell Scholarship will receive notification of selection results no later than August 2021. The programme covers direct study-related expenses including tuition fees, living expenses, books, and other such allowances, subject to the candidate’s scholastic performance. The provision of funds will be applied towards both pre-university A-levels at selected boarding institutions locally as well as undergraduate education at top universities in the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia.
Workforce development is one of the highest priorities at Shell, and our scholarship programme reflects our continued commitment to support Malaysia’s economic recovery by investing in the nation’s younger generation. We believe younger people are the next generation of leaders that will propel Malaysia forward towards achieving a net-zero carbon emissions future.
Shell is proud to have benefitted more than 1500 Shell Scholars in our community so far, who are not only making an impact locally and globally but are invested in supporting the growth and success of their peers.
